Every BTS member's brand power ranked after military discharge; Jimin, Jungkook lead June K-pop reputation index
All seven members of BTS have returned home after serving 18 months in the military. With that, Jimin, Jungkook, RM, Jin, Taehyung, Suga, and J-Hope have made a collective comeback on June's brand reputation ranking, without even dropping any new music yet. The big return also sent HYBE's previously tanking stock soaring within days. The list was released by the Korean Business Research Institute, and the ranking is done for each K-pop idol individually based on their activity, consumer participation, media coverage, community buzz, and more. (Data collected between May 21 and June 21.)
Just days before, KBRI released the group ranking list, where BTS got edged out by rising K-pop boy band SEVENTEEN, recently named Global K-pop Stars of the Year by an American outlet. This latest list dropped just hours after Suga wrapped his public service and officially rejoined the group.

For June, Jimin takes the lead, topping the overall list of top 30 with a brand reputation index of 6,301,075. The Filter crooner saw a massive 76.51% jump in his score since May. The highest-ranking phrases for Jimin remained 'Filter,' 'ARMY,' and 'Park Jimin,' while the related keywords set included 'military discharge,' 'donate,' and more. His positive-to-negative analysis also jumped, with a 94.04% positivity rate. Coming in second is fellow BTS member Jungkook—the duo had enlisted in the military together. His brand index for June was 5,189,119, with a dramatic 86.60% spike. BTS' Jin followed at No. 6 with 3,221,688 points, taking the third-highest spot among the group. V, aka Kim Taehyung, snagged the No. 7 position with a score of 2,517,299. J-Hope, aka Jung Hoseok, fresh off wrapping his world tour, ranked 12th with 1,394,483 points. Meanwhile, RM and Suga landed at 15th and 16th with 1,283,645 and 1,218,910 points, respectively.
BIGBANG member G-Dragon is currently on his 'Übermensch' world tour, which has shot his brand value through the roof. The K-pop idol ranked third on the list with a reputation index of 4,521,564. Meanwhile, ASTRO's Cha Eun Woo, who is set to hold an individual fan sign before enlisting in the military later this year, followed with a score of 4,140,574. Wanna One's Park Ji Hoon climbed to number 5 with 4,026,558, riding high on the success of his Weak Hero Class 2 stint, an almost 80% spike from his May score. The reputation ranking was conducted across 755 active K-pop male idols.

Meet Safira, who will inherit largest share of Sunjay Kapur's Rs 31000 crore fortune, leaving behind Karisma Kapoor and her kids
Prominent industrialist Sunjay Kapur passed away suddenly on June 12 after suffering a cardiac arrest. A week later, Sunjay's mortal remains were brought back to Delhi, where he was laid to rest in a crematorium at Lodhi Road. For the uninitiated, Sunjay Kapur is the ex-husband of actress Karisma Kapoor, and the two shared two kids – Samaira and Kiaan Kapoor. Sunjay Kapur was one of the most well-known businessmen across the globe and had built a business worth Rs 10,300 crore. With a humongous net worth, a question that often arises is: who will inherit the money? Sunjay was married thrice. His first marriage was with Nandita Mahtani, but they parted ways in 2000. Later, in 2003, Kapur married Karisma Kapoor. However, this marriage also did not sustain. They divorced in 2016. A year later, Sunjay Kapur tied the knot with Priya Sachdev, with whom he shared a son. Who Will Inherit Sunjay Kapur's Wealth? According to a media report, Sunjay Kapur's company Sona Comstar had a net worth of Rs 31,000 crore at the time of his death. On the other hand, his personal net worth was Rs 13,000 crore. While the will of the late businessman has not been disclosed, media reports claim that the property and other assets of Sunjay Kapur will be divided among all the dependents. However, a report by One India states that Safira Chatwal will get the largest portion of Sunjay Kapur's wealth. Who is Safira Chatwal? Safira Chatwal is Priya Sachdev's daughter. Priya was previously married to American actor Vikram Chatwal. The two had a daughter, Safira Chatwal. Priya and Vikram's relationship did not work out, and the two parted ways. Further, Safira stayed with Priya, and Sunjay also accepted her as his daughter. Under Indian law, Sunjay adopted Safira as his daughter. With that, she also has the same rights as Sunjay's other children regarding his property and assets. Safira Chatwal, a 19-year-old student at Marlborough College in England, has a keen interest in international relations and contemporary geopolitical issues. Her fascination with these subjects began during her time living in India. She is also the founder of Diplomacy 2030.
